Fireside Chat Series: The Spirit of Small Business

Venture13 is excited to introduce part two of the Fireside Chat Series, a new initiative focused on local business and community development. This series will provide an intimate, warm, and welcoming space for learning, discussion, and connection.

The session, the Spirit of Small Business - Building Community Through the Holiday Season, will focus on the unique role small businesses play during the holiday season in Northumberland County.

This event will be open to the public, with a special focus on small business owners, independent artisans, home-based entrepreneurs, and community supporters. It's an opportunity to share stories, ideas, and inspirations for how we can all keep the spirit of local alive during the busiest time of the year.

This event will feature a panel of local small business owners:

• Jennifer from Reader's Nook
• Sheri/Richard from Lolly Gags
• Cathy from Brittany N Bros
• Max from Northumberland Human Society
